Madeleine Café & Bakery 240 South Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach, CA 92075

"We had brunch here. Food was fantastic. Fresh salad. Cappuccino was perfect."

"Small french cafe with flavorful sweet and savory foods, pastries, and little tarts. Pretty expensive though not unexpected as this is Solana Beach area, but everything tastes delicious. Decoration is pretty minimal, which is fine as we dined outdoors and cared more about food than anything. They serve toasts, sandwiches, crepes (savory or sweet), baked goods, coffees and teas. We tried two savory crepes (3 cheeses and one ham and cheese) and one sweet (strawberry jam + fresh strawberry-cost extra). They were all yummy and we finished the plates. Thes espresso tart is delectable too, although I wasn't too keen on how the dulce de leche tart tasted. Outside dining is provided with small tables with chairs, with some covered by umbrellas. There is barstool seating on the inside of the cafe on the opposite side of the baked goods display. Bathroom is a communal bathroom shared by other stores and a key needs to be requested from the cafe attendant. I'd go back for the taste but would definitely be intimidated by the price."

"Came early morning after a doctor's appointment. Hubby ordered the Parisian omelette and greens. I had the Nutella crepe with strawberries. Vanilla latte and green tea finished up our order. Everything was delicious. We left full but not stuffed. Portion sizes are just right. There is a cute assortment of French cooking and snacks available for purchase as well. The gentleman was friendly and helpful."
